Fifteen students read the book Gulliver’s Travels. In the book, the
Lilliputians said they could make clothes for Gulliver by taking one measurement, the length around
his thumb. The Lilliputians claimed that • the distance
around Gulliver’s wrist would be twice the distance around his thumb. • the distance
around Gulliver’s neck would be twice the distance around his wrist. • the distance
around Gulliver’s waist would be twice the distance around his neck.
The students
wondered whether this doubling relationship would be true for them, too. They measured the distance
around their thumbs and their wrists in centimeters, then graphed the pairs of numbers on a
coordinate graph. They drew a line connecting the points that represented wrist measurements that
were twice thumb measurements.
a. How many students’ measurements fit the Lilliputian rule
that twice the distance around the thumb equals the distance around the wrist? b. How many
students’ wrist measurements are less than twice their thumb measurements? c. The
point for Jeri’s thumb and wrist measurements is above the line. If the cuffs of a shirt are
twice the measurement around Jeri’s thumb, how will the cuffs of the shirt fit
her? d. The point for Rubin’s thumb and wrist measurements is below the line. If the
cuffs of a shirt are twice the measurement around Rubin’s thumb, how will the cuffs of the
shirt fit him?

G. Oni O’Meter is a math rap singer who lives in Miami, Florida. She is
starting a fall concert tour, and she flies her own plane to every concert. Here is her tour
schedule: To fly from one
city to the next, G. Oni needs a flight angle and compass direction to direct her plane. A flight
angle is formed by two lines that start in the city from which the flight takes off. One line points
north, and the other points to the flight’s destination. The flight angles are labeled with
degree measure and west or east.
For example, to fly from
Miami to Dallas for the first concert, G. Oni flies along a 71° west flight angle. Using your
angle ruler and the map below, find the flight angles for the rest of G. Oni’s concert
tour.
